Overview

“All-in-ones” often fall short, but my bandmates and I are the exception. My band and I have spent years performing music from across the decades—so whether you’re looking for an intimate serenade, a lively hoedown, a nostalgic throwback to classic rock, 80s dance, or modern pop, we have you covered.

Given that every event is unique, I offer fully customizable setlists tailored to your vision. Whether you have specific song requests or need help curating the right vibe, I’ll work with you to ensure the music is exactly what your occasion needs.

Such good energy and great talent!

We have brought Greg in for a few company events and they are always a blast! Definitely more to come in the future. He is great on the keyboard and his vocals are excellent as well. We've been fortunate enough to have him in with some of his local friends who gig as well and everyone is always super impressed. Very versatile too for different types of events. I would highly recommend Greg for any event!

Professional and fun!

I’ve hired Greg for a business event and a birthday party. Greg made both the events memorable and super fun for both the groups. We loved every song he played for us, he’s got a great voice!

What to expect

Myself, and my bandmates are incredibly easy to work with! Outside of a reliable power source, we are entirely self-sufficient and can bring the energy you need. Whether it's pulling people to the dance-floor or providing a non-intrusive, yet tasteful set of background tunes, we, or myself (solo act), have you covered.

About

In short, I've been fortunate enough to travel to both ends of the country to perform various styles of music in different capacities. The following are perhaps the most notable:

- London, Ontario; most wedding and private party bookings have occurred in this area, ranging from solo piano/guitar + vocal performances (for isle entrances & cocktail hour), to full party bands performing every major genre/time period. This is also where I opened for Grammy Artist, Dragonette, and hosted my own sold-out original music show at the London Brewing Cooperative.

- Antigonish, Nova Scotia; piano/keyboard player in a touring recruitment band for St. Francis Xavier University. We played everything from 1930s swing music to modern-era fusion. Additionally, I performed in several jazz combos on a regular basis, primarily for corporate events, as well as did a Beatles tribute for a couple during the cocktail hour of their wedding.

- Dawson City, Yukon; pianist in a cabaret-style production. Music spanned the entire last century, including ragtime, jazz swing, rock & roll, classic rock, and pop.
